My Project

My K-5 students have many interests and love a variety of books. I have many requests for new books that go beyond my budget. Providing access to these new high-interest books like "PAWS" graphic novel series and "Pig the Pug" picture books will allow me to show that their input matters and put books they love into their hands. All students in the school will be able to check out these books from the library to take home and read.

We know how essential reading choice is to students developing a lifelong love of reading.

These books are in series that students love, like "Lightfall" or are narrative non-fiction to help bring new perspectives on science and social studies topics. I know students will be eager to check out books like "Maizy Chen's Last Chance" and "The Brain is Kind of a Big Deal" and share them with their friends.

Thank you for supporting our growing readers!
